For relaxed boating, when soaking up the sun is more attractive than precise course keeping

The EV Sensor Core

At the centre of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-to-install housing.

Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.

EV-1 Cockpit and Inboard Autopilots

EV-1 autopilots consist of a Control Head, EV-1 Sensor, Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) and drive unit. The drive unit (inboard mechanical/ hydraulic or cockpit mounted) and correct ACU for your vessel is dependent on the steering system and displacement of the vessel itself.

EV-2 for Drive-by-Wire Propulsion

EV-2 has been designed for the latest drive-by-wire steering systems and connects directly to Raymarine's SeaTalkng bus. EV-2 also has a dedicated CAN Bus port for direct connection to steer-by-wire steering systems - such as ZF Pod Drives, Yamaha Helm Master, Volvo IPS and SeaStar Solutions Optimus systems. A single CAN Bus connection to the EV-2 eliminates the need for an Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) further simplifying installation.

Introducing HydroBalance™ Technology

Hydro-Balance™ Technology is an all new, patent-pending software update that delivers superior autopilot performance on boats with hydraulic steering, and particularly on boats with rudder reference-less steering and outboard motors.

Autopilot Control

p70 and p70R autopilot control heads

Complete your Evolution autopilot system with a p70 or p70R autopilot control. The p70 and p70R control heads feature vibrant colour displays and are powered by Raymarine’s intuitive LightHouse user interface.

LightHouse organises all options into simple menu structures and with Evolution’s quick setup process you will be up and running in minutes.

The p70R features a rotary dial control for power boaters. Use the rotary dial for menu and course changes or activate power steer mode and steer manually right from the p70R.

Autopilot control from Raymarine MFDs

Control your Evolution Autopilot directly from your Raymarine aSeries, cSeries, eSeries or gS Series multifunction display. Note that your multifunction display must be running Raymarine's LightHouse II software and that some autopilot functionality may not be available if your system does not include a dedicated autopilot control head.

Evolution Autopilot Ordering Information

Evolution Autopilots can be purchased as a system pack with a drive unit, a system pack without a drive unit or as individual components. If you are unsure what you require, speak with your local dealer who will be able to offer advice and suggest the best package for your vessel.

Selecting your Autopilot Drive Unit

Choosing the appropriate drive unit is usually the first step in selecting an autopilot for your vessel. The drive unit you will need will depend on the steering system and displacement of your vessel. The following drive units are all compatible with the Raymarine Evolution Autopilot:

Selecting your control head

The Evolution autopilot can be controlled from dedicated autopilot control heads or from compatible Raymarine multifunction displays. Note that some autopilot control functionality is not available from MFDs.

Raymarine multifunction displays can be used to control a connected autopilot, engage the autopilot in Track mode or Auto mode, adjust the current locked heading when in Auto mode, disengage the autopilot, provide close integration with the Chart application, select different performance modes, adjust pilot settings and manage autopilot alarms. Note that in a system that does not include a dedicated pilot control head, the Data Master MFD cannot be switched Off or put into PowerSave mode whilst the autopilot is engaged.
